Mango market

Huge baskets of mangoes are assembled underneath a tree at one of the largest markets for the fruit in the world. Over 2,000 farmers take their produce to be sold to wholesalers at Kansat in Chapai Nawabganj, Bangladesh. The freshly picked fruit is transported to the market in baskets attached to bicycles before being distributed to the country's major cities. Mangoes are the main crop of farmers in the district, with thousands of tonnes being sold every day.
